Music Magpie

What do people think of Music Magpie?

I used it recently and it took a long time from collection until eventual payment, like over a month, and for, well, not particularly much.

I have no use for the DVDs anyway, but selling them 30p each, can be disheartening.

I have another two boxes of DVDs ready to go, I mean it's a lot easier than selling them individually on Ebay or Amazon and you don't have the hassle of posting them.

But, I'm starting to think it would be easier listing them on gumtree of facebook for like a quid each or something like that.

    I have used them in the past once and received my payment on time but if you search the forum you will see number of posts about where people weren't paid etc.

    I think i rather sell them on Ebay even for 99p each. Yes posting might be hassle but for me not an issue as there is a very close post office near my work.

    Also you can buy postage online on royal mail website and print & stick and post them

    I have used them quite a lot and have always got my full payment and always got it fairly quickly. The stuff I have sold to them has always been CDs/DVDs that either go for pennies elsewhere or didn't sell when I listed it on Amazon/ebay. Even if they had sold on those sites the fees and packing costs would have made it all pointless.
